Why We Like The Garmin inReach Mini 2

The inReach Mini 2 gives us the same compact communication means as its predecessor but now with loads more battery life and features. Rather than lasting hours, it lasts days, letting us use it for much more than just check-ins on our multi-day missions. With the new ability to sync with Garmin Explorer, we can plan our course on the computer screen and save it to this palm-sized device. As we venture well beyond cell coverage, the new electronic compass gives us an accurate heading as we stand still, while the addition of Galileo gives us a quicker and more precise satellite lock, even with some tree cover. If we get turned around, the addition of TracBack routing helps us find our way.

Awesome device

I love this little device, it’s super easy to use. I’ve had no problems with connecting it to my iPhone. The explorer app and messenger app work great. I haven’t had issues with battery life but I feel like it could be a little bit better at times. The cost of the subscription is a little pricey but you’re paying for peace of mind so I get it.

Garmin Inreach Mini

Honestly I haven’t been out on a road trip but it’s all set up and provides us with a lot of comfort knowing we can text or hit SOS in case of an emergency when there is no cell service which is many remote areas when camping !

Peace of mind

Great little gadget. Text from the device or phone anywhere! Brings me (and my wife) peace of mind when I’m out off the grid with the breadcrumb feature. I like that I can share a text thread with a select few people to get critical work messages. It’s easy to set up and the variety of subscription plans should suit just about anyone.

Peace of mind is priceless

Wonderful to have the peace of mind of safety in the backcountry. Easy to use and the battery lasts a long time. I even got to see a rescue team respond to an InReach SOS call in the Montana backcountry and they reported a 30 minute response time from call to arrival. Glad I have that security no matter where I go!

Easy to use and does the job well. Used this to allow others to track a backpacking trip and they could easily track and message me throughout.

Easy to use

Have not used in an emergency yet, but easy to set up, pair with your phone and use. Absolute must if you are going backcountry or out of cell range for any time.

This was the PERFECT item needed when hiking into remote areas for long period of time. Gave ability to communicate easily with family that all was well and for them to communicate back easily. Gave a secure feeling that in emergency it was there for communication even when cell phone wouldn't have worked. A must have for any situation you need communication when phone won't work. Great product!

Have yet to try,

I've had Garmin 66i previously and expect this device to be just fine, however under the new subscription plan I need to wait until near hunting season to activate and use / learn. I don't find it feasible to activate twice or pay for 6 months of service before I need to use the device.
